Spring is around the corner

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Paper book or audio book?

Um, both? I love the sensation of having a paper book in my hands and the feeling of turning pages, but I like that I can listen to an audio book while I’m walking or sitting in the car. And for some reason, when I listen to an audio book, the information seems to sink in a little better. If I had to choose one, though, then paper.

2. What’s a warm drink you’re having today?

A cup of darjeeling with cream and a lil’ bit of sugar!

3. What’s the fastest way to get stuff done – calling or texting?

Phone call for me, for sure. I’d rather just sort it out then and there, in real time and with clear voice cues, instead of sending a billion texts back and forth and wondering if a text has hidden subtext.

4. Silver or gold today?

Let’s go with gold because I’m wearing a gold necklace that says “mama” which Connor got me years ago.

5. Tell me all about your warmest and most comfortable pants!

I bought a pair of dark charcoal Lou and Gray joggers years ago and they are the softest, warmest and most comfortable pants I own. If I’m having a rough day, I swear these pants make everything better.

Hi and happy Monday. Are you home today? Connor and I have today off because it’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day (a federal holiday) here in the United States. This is the first paid day off I’ve had in years, and it thrills me.

Anywho, you’re not going to believe this (and even I almost can’t, seeing how last week, it hit freezing temps here in Marin county), but Connor and I took a walk this morning and saw some signs of spring.

There are white flowers blooming in my neighbor’s yard (I think they’re called paperwhites)!

We also found what seems like a newly build nest in some bushes.

Soon the days will be longer and the weather will be warmer. I’m really looking forward to it.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
